    It is part of this set that used to be available on Brownells.

    I listed the Brownells part number for the bit above.

    Nothing comes up on either Brownells or Wheelers website with 424-466. It must only be available as part of a set as said above.

    The number I listed in post #94 is for the Brownells bit, not the Wheeler. 080-430-430WB Both company's bits were made for the same purpose.

    Try either a #41 flathead or dimensions of width .340 depth .070 thickness .060 which are the specs of this specific bit.

    The Wheeler bit that is the best fit is the 608-712. I believe it comes only in the largest Wheeler set and in one of their accessory kits. The width of the slot in a Colt type screw is approx. .0740" and the Magpul is about .0800"

    424-466 .0600" thick
    608-712 .0695"-.0700" thick

    I've been using the Brownells bit for these screws for about 30 years. Never found anything better.

    SOLGW has come out with a seemingly great screw that does both.

    Do we really live in a world where an adult doesn't own a straight screwdriver?

    I know, properly fitting screwdriver, etc. Its a grip screw, who cares if it gets a little mangled?

    I will not allow an improperly fitting screwdriver anywhere near my grip screws, or any other screw for that matter. A perfect fit is even more important since you can't really see very well what you're doing down inside the grip. And I very much care if the grip screw drive slot gets a little mangled, I've replaced certain parts for things that were even more hidden and insignificant.

    I have literally hit the range 12 times with an AR since this thread started. Its not rocket science - screw the grip on and go shooting.
